New England Patriots Draft picks 2023: Full list of Patriots selections
The New England Patriots brought in new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft, as the franchise wanted to help Mac Jones. They haven't drafted well over the past few years and were under a lot of pressure to make good decisions this year.
Since Tom Brady's departure, head coach Bill Belichick has been criticized heavily for the roster construction and performance. Patriots fans are hoping that their franchise gets it right in this year's draft, and that they'll become contenders again.

New England Patriots Draft picks 2023: Round 1
17th pick - Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
The New England Patriots traded away their 14th overall pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers and then drafted Christian Gonzalez with the 17th overall pick that they got in return.
Gonzalez is a typical Bill Belichick draft pick, as he has a huge upside and can become an elite corner in the NFL. In further rounds, we expect the Patriots to draft offensive players to help Mac Jones.

New England Patriots Draft picks 2023: Round 4
107th pick: Jake Andrews, C, Troy
112th pick: Chad Ryland, PK, Maryland
117th pick: Sidy Sow, OG, Eastern Michigan
The Patriots drafted center Jake Andrews with the 107th overall pick. He is the first offensive player that the Patriots have drafted in this year's draft, as they aim to strengthen their offensive line.
With the 112th pick, the Patriots drafted kicker Chad Ryland. Bill Belichick hasn't aimed to improve his offense yet, and that has come as a surprise to many.
With the 117th pick, the Patriots drafted another O-lineman in the form of Sidy Sow. He is an offensive guard and the draft strategy used by Bill Belichick this year has left Patriots fans confused.
New England Patriots Draft picks 2023: Round 5
144th pick: Atonio Maifi, OG, UCLA
With the 144th overall pick, the Patriots added another offensive lineman in the form of Atonio Maifi, who is a guard. Yet, no skill players have been drafted by the franchise to aid Mac Jones.

210th pick: Demario Douglas, WR, Liberty
214th pick: Ameer Speed, CB, Michigan State
Bill Belichick has finally answered the calls of Patriots fans by drafting Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas. They could become great players for them, and Mac Jones would be happy with these additions.
New England Patriots Draft picks 2023: Round 7
245th pick: Isiah Bolden, Jackson State, CB
With their final pick of this year's draft, the Patriots drafted another defensive player in the form of Isiah Bolden of Jackson State. He is from Jackson State, and being under Deion Sanders, he must have learned a lot to fit well under Bill Belichick.
